Hi,
Today I tried setting a customer ringtone for a contact but changed my mind afterwards. Now I found out that there is no option for setting a "Default" ringtone.
Custom contact applications allow you to select a "default ringtone" but it's not the same and other applications such was WhatsApp messenger still consider "dafault ringtone" a custom one. I checked with other unchanged contacts which state "Dafault" as their ringtone. When I use custom contact app such as GO Contacts it states "Default ringtone notification (Beep)".
Does anyone know how to actually reset contact ringtone to default? I tried searching everywhere to no avail. Workaround such as export to sim card, delete, import is the only option I found.
Thank you.
Just searched for the same solution and I found this:
"Luckily the Ringtone Maker application from the Android play store has a Contact ringtone management option in the top right settings dropdown, that has the added ‘default ringtone’ option at the very top of the ringtone options list."

just look for your contacts and set a "new" ringtone, then you choose the default one
"Default" is not an available option
Hi, I have the same problem as Bledula. If I try to set the contact ringtone back to the default one I get the option to choose "Default ringtone" from the dropdown box. This doesn't have the desired effect, though, because it sets the sound for an incoming text/whatsapp message of that contact to the default ringtone that is used for incoming calls.
I tried n3tchart's suggestion, which indeed allows me to view the ringtone for each contact whithin the Ringtone Maker app. All the contacts whose ringtone I have tempered with are set to "Default", while the one that I have tempered with is set to "Default ringtone". The problem still persists, because even within Ringtone Maker, the option "Default" is unavailable in the corresponding dropdown box.
Does any know if there is some config file of the address book that I could edit by hand? Maybe there I could manually edit "Default ringtone" to "Default"...
Many thanks!!
a not-so-elegant workaround
Okay, so I looked into some more. I could find a configuration file that allowed me to edit this thing by hand. However, I found a kinda dirty way around the problem.
First, disable (delete) the Whatsapp account from the "Accounts & sync" settings menu. Then, delete the contact that has the ringtone issue and re-add the contact manually. Finally, add the Whatsapp account in the "Accounts & Sync" settings menu again. That's it. The contact's ringtone is set to "Default" again rather than "Default ringtone".
Note that just deleting and re-adding the contact doesn't fix the problem if you don't disable Whatsapp syncing.

I've been trying to figure two things :
1) I take a 5MP pic with my Desire and want to mail it, is it at all possible to resize the picture i mail in attachment ?
2) i'd love to have a different notification sound for my incoming mail than for regular notifications, is it possible ? i can customize my incoming sms messages notification by using Handcent SMS.
thanks
Yves
Don't know about the first one.
But the email notifications can be set directly in the email application (Menu-Settings). The same goes for SMS.
It took me a while to figure out that I have to change the notifications in directly in the applications.

Thanks Ferus,
in the menu section you can say whether you want to be notified but you cannot change the sound of the notification. I wasn't clear on that in my previous mail. I'd like to change the sound just like you can in WM6. a different sound for different events

In the Settings of Google Mail application I have the option to be notified and also select the ringtone.

Yes you're right; however for the Exchange mail or any other POP account you cannot define it.
I gather there is no possibility to assign a specific notification sound for an incoming mail. Perhaps anyone has heard of an application who can do it ?
Anyone has an answer for me concerning the resizing of pictures when mailing them ?
Hi just got this phone today, ive changed it in the notifications ring, but it hasnt changed it, keeps with the default one, so wondered if anyone knows why its doing that
Try launching the sms app, press menu, settings and notification sound

This also works on ur gmail, Hotmail, google chat, facebook chat, calendar. make sure inside the app, setting and go to notification setting choose ur ringtone. The only one I cannot change is my voice mail alert...it uses the default ringtone.
how do you change the email notification tone??? its driving me cazy and i cant seem to figure out how or where...
Do this...
Click on the menu button while in Gmail (this is for Gmail, I don't use the included email service)
Go to Settings
If using more than one Email account select the account you want to make changes to
Scroll to the bottom of the settings list
Select "labels to notify"
Select inbox or priority inbox whichever you use (you can set up each to have different notifications)
A popup box will appear
Place a check on the email notifications if it isn't already checked
Select ringtones
Choose whatever ringtone you may want and hit ok
on the popup select ok
you have now set your gmail to whatever ringtone you may want
If you have any problems let me know.
Thank you very much that worked!

Your welcome, and I'm glad that it worked for you
i'm looking for a way to split the SMS alerts and Email alerts Tone OR even just turn off the Email alert tone but keep the SMS one.
Under settings in messaging app you can change the ringtone.
I believe you can do the same in the gmail app by going into the account settings.
I do not use the default exchange app anymore so I can't help you with that one

Yes it's possibile excatly as u described.
Configure sms from the general settings menu \ audio and email sound from gmail settings (if you use gmail).
I have set my lock screen to "productivity", so I can see my alerts, the "issue" is that my GMail app notifications do not appear, am I missing a setting somewhere or is this the same for everyone?
Well, I can only select MAIL in Settings, GMail is missing.. seems to be a missing Software Feature.. Maybe because GMail isn't a Sense-App?

Same for me, the option in settings allows you to only pick accounts set up in the Email app.
Another annoyance!
